The Makers - The Devil's Nine Questions. Estrus Records 10" ES104.

I've been wanting to upload more from my collection of 10" singles and EPs but have held back for lack of cover material. That is, my scanner is smaller than 10" so it's impossible to scan the sleeves like I do for the 7"ers. Yesterday, though I had the idea to mount the camera on its tripod and shoot the sleeves. Due to the angle of the lens the pictures are slightly skewed, so the cropping is a bit messy. I hope it's an acceptable 'work around' until I decide to invest in an A3 scanner.

So. The Makers. They seemed to come out of nowhere to release a bunch of stuff on The Right Labels, driving to their gigs in a Mummiesesque hearse and championed by their manager, the charismatic Vic Mostly, who would have not been out of place managing a WWE wrestler. This is one of two ten inch EPs by the group that survived The Great Garage Punk Sort Out a few years back. It's all instrumental and is good and all. It's more rocky than surfy, but with only 10" of vinyl to fill they don't outstay their welcome. Enjoy.

Call Me Kenneth.

I'm a sexy guy who is not afraid to dance. The intention of this blog is to provide MP3 access to mainly unavailable audio material recorded directly from well-played and well-loved (in the most part) vinyl, alongside scans of the covers and all available inserts. You know. How it was meant to be heard. Not all farted about with years later by Those Who Fear The Holy Crackle. When I run out of records I delete the blog. The recordings are all made from records I bought myself. No profit is made from this blog.
